Booking Through Thursday - Mood Reading

Do you find that your mood affects the things you read? Like, if you’re in a bad mood, do you tend to indulge in reading that will support it or do you try to read things that will cheer you up? Do you pick different types of books on dreary, rainy days than you do on bright sunny ones?

For that matter, does your mood color what you’re reading, so that a funny book isn’t so funny or a serious one not so deep?

On a similar note - I'm realizing that I am a seasonal reader. Meaning, right now I am all about reading Christmas books. While in the summer I tend to read a lot more romance than normal and go for the darker, creepier more mysterious in the Autumn. I don't know how long I've been reading in this fashion but I definitely noticed it this year.

How about you? Do you read according to your mood or the season or holiday?

My moods do color what I read to a cetain degree but not all the time. Usually if I'm in a bad mood or not feeling too well then I'm not reading too much. It's at these times when I know I nned something funny or romantic to pull me out of my funk.
